Suggest Me Medication For Swollen Arm After Stitches On The Wrist.
I have a quick question. My mother got stitches two days ago on her wrist after she cut it on a can. Since getting the stitches her entire arm and hand have swollen and it hasn t gone down using advil. Should we be concerned that something else might be wrong? (infection?)

Hi,
There may secondary bacterial infection most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A short course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs may improve the condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
